On June 29, 2007, he presented Apple, Hence Steve Jobs, the first ever iPhone, which literally changed the world and determined the direction in which phones would go in the years to come. The first Apple phone was extremely popular, as were practically all subsequent generations, up until today. After 15 years of development, we currently have iPhone 13 (Pro), which is incomparably better in every way. Let's take a look at 5 things in which it was the first in this article. iPhone timeless and became so successful.

No stylus

If you used a touchscreen before the first iPhone, you always had to touch it with a stylus, a kind of stick that made the display respond to touch. This was necessary because most devices at the time used resistive displays, which did not respond to finger touch. iPhone subsequently, it was the first to come up with a capacitive display, which could recognize finger touches thanks to electrical signals. In addition, the capacitive display of the first iPhone also supported multi-touch, i.e. the ability to perform multiple touches at once. This made things like typing or playing games more enjoyable.

A decent camera

First ever iPhone It had a rear camera with a resolution of 2 MP. What are we going to lie to ourselves, the quality is definitely not comparable with the latest "thirteens", which have two or three 12 MP lenses. However, 15 years ago this was something completely unimaginable and iPhone with such a high-quality rear camera, it completely sank all the competition. Of course, before the introduction of the first Apple phone, there were already phones with cameras, but they were definitely not capable of creating such high-quality photos. Thanks to this, taking photos with a phone also became a hobby for many users, who started taking photos more and more often, anytime and anywhere. Thanks to the high-quality display for that time, you could easily view the photo directly on it, and you could also use gestures to zoom in, scroll between photos, etc.

It didn't have a physical keyboard

If you were born before 2000, you most likely owned a phone with a physical keyboard. Even with these keyboards, after years of practice, you could type really quickly, but typing on a screen can be even faster, more accurate, and more convenient. Even before the introduction of the first iPhone, the possibility of typing on a screen was somewhat known, but manufacturers did not use this option, precisely because of resistive displays, which were also not accurate and not at all capable of immediate response. Then, when the iPhone with a capacitive display that offered multi-touch support and great accuracy, it was a revolution. The on-screen keyboard was initially sceptical to many, but it turned out to be the right move.

He was without unnecessary things

At the beginning of the "zero" years, i.e. from 2000, every phone was simply different in some way and had some distinction - some phones were slide-out, others flip-up, etc. But when the first iPhone, it didn't have any such special features. It was a tablet, without any moving parts, which had a display with a button on the front and a camera on the back. iPhone It was unusual in itself for that time and certainly did not need an extraordinary design, as it was impressive precisely because of its simplicity. And no special features were out of place, since Apple wanted him to be iPhone as easy to use as possible, and to simplify everyday operations. The Californian giant simply iPhone It was perfect – for example, it wasn't the first phone capable of connecting to the Internet, but it was a phone you actually wanted to connect to the Internet with. We certainly remember the extraordinary phones from the beginning of the millennium, but we wouldn't trade them for anything.

Simple design

I already mentioned on the previous page that he had the first iPhone really simple design. Most phones from the "zero" years would definitely not win the award for the best looking device. Even though manufacturers tried to produce phones with a certain design, they often prioritized form over functionality. The first iPhone It was introduced in the era of flip phones and was a complete change. It had no moving parts, it didn't move at all, and while other manufacturers were skimping on cheap materials like plastic, iPhone made his way through aluminum and glass. The first iPhone It was very elegant for its time and changed the style that the mobile industry followed in the following years.
